Oh yes forgot to mention ..... X-Clan (To The East Blackwards !) http://www.discogs.com/release/238464 An album of the finest class ! Plus I have an ultra rare 12" of 'Travelling at the Speed of Thought' http://www.discogs.com/release/222486
ok then, ill listen to any i havnt heard of (could take a while), and give them a straight or rating, then the recommendation can continue people under the stairs Diggin in the crates Hilltop Hoods (though some of what i've just listened to sounded like n-sync ) Quannum Raekwon DJ Format Binary Star Mark B & Blade someone showed me this on the other day as it happens Atmosphere I'll carry on listening next time I have more time, but top gears on! From what I've been listening to though, I want more soulful, less cheese + crunk: if it samples a whole intro from a 70's pop song or has a fat black (or white - even worse) man yelling in no particular tune or rythm into a mic, or both it's crap []
